YESWELDER 205A MIG Welder, 110V/220V 5-In-1 MIG/Flux Core MIG/Spool Gun MIG/Lift TIG/Stick | clear digital display, efficient setup, synergic control, beginner friendly, auto repair, DIY jobs, metalworking

There are welders for less, welders with more power, some with Plasma Cutting, but none of those have the build and quality of the YesWelder brand. Lots to like, a couple of things no so much. Biggest niggle is the lack of a hook on the gun to hang it while adjusting clamps etc. My last gas-less welder has a hook on the gun, I guess was spoiled. Next niggle, flux welding, on the materials settings sheet it recommends wire speed 179, dc volts 18.3 for 16 ga steel. Well, you had better giddy up at that setting, if too slow the welder makes holes. To fill those I went 67 fpm wire speed, 17.2 volts. Does not show amps in flux mode before you start but, oddly does WHILE the welder is welding. Weird. Otherwise it pops spot welds in 'thousand and ' only no need for any numbers ...lol My old gas-less needed full 4 secs to do the same work. As I said, what's not to love about this machine. Good size, compatible with my needs, easy to use, not too heavy, 37 lbs, versatile.

The YESWELDER MIG-205DS PRO is super easy to use and perfect for anyone from a beginner to a weekend fabricator. I love that it runs on both 110 V and 220 V, so I can use it anywhere — from the garage to the shop. Switching between MIG and stick welding is quick and straightforward, and the controls are very user-friendly. It’s also spool-gun ready, which means I can weld aluminum without needing a separate machine. This single unit really does it all — MIG, stick, steel, aluminum — all in one compact setup. Great value, great performance, and incredibly convenient!

I purchased the YESWELDER MIG-205DS PRO for my son, who is just getting started with welding, and we are both extremely impressed. First off, this machine is very beginner-friendly. The controls are intuitive, setup was straightforward, and it didn’t overwhelm him like some higher-end industrial welders can. That said, it definitely doesn’t feel like a “beginner-only” machine. What really surprised us is the penetration on 110V. My son specifically mentioned that even running on standard household power, the welds have solid penetration and consistency, which is something you don’t always see at this price point. When switched to 220V, it’s a completely different beast. The 5-in-1 multiprocess capability is a huge bonus: Gas MIG Flux Core MIG Spool Gun MIG (great for aluminum) Lift TIG Stick welding This makes it a welder he can grow into as his skills improve, instead of outgrowing it in a year. Build quality feels solid, the arc is smooth, and it runs reliably without random issues or overheating. For hobbyists, DIYers, and especially new welders, this is an outstanding value. If you’re looking for a versatile, powerful, and beginner-approved welder, this one is absolutely worth it. My son loves it, and I feel confident knowing he’s learning on a quality machine. Highly recommended 👍

With the ever increasing number of cheap welders flooding the market, it is nice to see one with advanced features and good build quality. The Yeswelder Mig-205DS is an attractive, well built welder with a very sturdy metal case and advanced synergic circuitry. I am not sure how they can offer this much welder for $369. Like most off shore welders, the instructions are pretty vague so you are pretty much forced to use trial and error. The is also no welder settings chart. I will test the synergic settings against the setting chart I put together using Miller, Lincoln, and Harbor Freight welder settings. The duty cycle is outstanding if correct. 60% at 200 amps is identical to my vintage 350-400 pound Millermatic 200. It appears this is Yeswelder's first venture into welders however they have been selling helmets and other welding gear for a while. My welder arrived quickly from Amazon as always. The outer box was in good condition. However the welder box was obviously opened at some point. It has some damage. When I unboxed the welder I noticed some minor case damage and the wire access door was bound up and stuck. When I plugged it in I noticed the control panel was one showing 8.8.8 and all of the green LED's were lit. There was no control of the welder. Normally I would have just sent it back to Amazon however I wanted to see what Yeswelder would do. Yeswelder replied back immediately and asked a few questions. The offered an immediate replacement but I asked if they could send a replacement part and let me fix it without voiding my warranty. They agreed and sent a new panel immediately via DHL. It arrived within 5 days. When I removed the thick metal case I found the plug to the control panel was barely connected. I plugged it back in and tested the welder. It worked perfectly. The welder actually lays down some good welds based on the insurgic settings. It appears it only displays volts and amps. That is a little cumbersome because I am accustomed to seeing volts and wire speed. I will need to play with it more to figure everything out. I didn't use the mig gun included with the welder because I have a 4 meter 250 amp gun I bought for my Hitbox Mig200A. I am giving that welder to a family member along with the new gun from the Yeswelder Mig-205DS. Both welders have the wonderful European style connection. The included roller is set for 0.030 and 0.035 wire. You will need to buy a roller for 0.025 wire. The dust shield is a nice touch but the deep set and high mounted display is impossible to see without tilting the welder up or kneeling down. The Yeswelder has the ability to do scratch start TIG, however I will never use that feature so buying a tig torch isn't in my future. In fact I will never use the stick welding feature either. I have a Hobart AC-DC welder for those duties. I am giving 4 out of 5 stars because of the lack of good instructions, difficult to see display, and lack of wire speed control. I was told by Yeswelder the electrode holder and the ground cables I recieved were not Yeswelder accessories confirming my suspicion the welder I received was a returned item. The box was definitely re-taped. My experience with Yeswelder customer service has been outstanding. They have sent new displays, ground cable, and electrode holder to replace and repair the missing and damaged parts. They even sent me a spare main board. Again, their first choice was to send a completely new unit, but I chose to fix the welder. Very impressive customer service. Update. The new electrode holder and ground clamp are 10 foot heavy duty units. I mention above about their customer service. Today, unexpectedly, I received a very nice Yeswelder welding helmet as a gift for the issues I had. I really feel confident Yeswelder will stand behind their products. I added a welding chart I am using with the amp settings in case the units synergic

Love this welder! Will do any job I'll ever need a welder for. Extremely good quality and surprisingly durable for the price point. Seriously impressed! I love this brand!

Welder since early 80s, hands shake and I can't stick weld like I used to, so I finally got a mig/flux core, tig welder that is GREAT qualty, built great, welds great(flux core so far) that I could afford on a black friday sale. Hoped that my old tig gear would fit but I will have to put new lugs on the cables and get new gas hose. This thing is wonderful!. Even comes with a liner to change to use aluminum wire for welding aluminum, has all the wire drive rollers also. I will post pics at a later date as I use it more, gonna have to save up to get tanks for gases, they are expensive these days, more than the cost of the welding machine itself. I'm 62 and never thought I would see the day I would say that lol. I have owned a handful of fancy lincoln and miller machines, still have an old lincoln ac tombstone, and a small Hitbox dc welder for stick. But I know this jewel is going to be used exclusively from now on.

It has taken me most of a year from purchasing this welder to writing this review, because I wanted to put it through all its paces. After all, a machine that claims to be able to do every major welding process for under 400 bucks is… well, it’s gotta be lying somehow. Let me get the bad stuff out of the way first: the instructions are almost useless, the arc settings are confusing and almost willfully obscure (I had to watch so many YouTube videos to get MAG to work correctly) and there are little quirks that are just not mentioned anywhere, like the fact that it is only programmed to accept .035 flux core wire, but accepts three different sizes of MIG wire (still no idea why), and the internal mount for the roll of wire seemed- at first, second, and third glance- to be missing parts, but actually works on friction alone. It doesn’t match the diagram in the instructions at all, but it *does* work. Took me two emails to the company to sort that one out. So in terms of user friendliness, it’s pretty terrible. And… there ends the list of complaints. This little machine does everything it claims, and does it well. I couldn’t believe it the first time I set it up for TIG and discovered that it really does do Lift TIG, exactly as it claims. The current in all modes is perfectly steady, and it runs hot and clean at all times. I couldn’t get it to overheat, my half-inch plate workpiece was glowing red before the machine called it quits. I still don’t know where the cycle limits are, but they’re higher than I require. I’m real conservative when switching between 110 and 220, because the instructions to ‘wait 2 minutes’ is totally unclear, so I wait 2 minutes after plugging it into the new current level with the power switch off, and another 2 with the power switch on, just to make sure it has completely switched from 110 to 220 or vice versa before I use it. There’s no indicator or anything, but it does seem to switch back and forth just fine. Overall, if you’re willing to put up with the quirks, this is a fantastic machine for the money. It welds, you guys, it welds every kind of steel you can think of. It does its job brilliantly. I’m more than happy to put up with some quirks for performance like this. Money very well spent, and if YesWelder can improve their instructions and user interface, they could end up a serious player in the welding game. Edit 2024: please note that this review was for the previous-gen 'blue box' 205DS. I cannot speak to the current gen 'black box' version, except to say that it seems much improved over my version, and my blue welder is going strong three years later.

The YESWELDER MIG-205DS PRO is an absolute game-changer! With its 200A dual voltage capability, it’s perfect for a wide range of projects, whether you’re working at home or in a professional setting. The 5-in-1 functionality is incredibly versatile, allowing seamless transitions between MIG, Flux Core, Spool Gun, TIG, and Stick welding. It’s also aluminum MIG compatible, which is a huge plus. The machine is user-friendly, reliable, and delivers exceptional weld quality. Definitely a fantastic investment for anyone serious about welding!

Great welding machine, I really love it. The interface is very easy to understand and to change mode from Arc to MIG for instance. I used it both for fluxore and rod welding so far and it is doing a great job. Installation of wire is easy too and I live the button to feed the wire in the gun. Overall a solid choice for weekend warriors / fabriators at a nice price especially when on sale. Got it for around 375$ CAD if I remember correctly. I could not miss that deal and don't regret it at all. I also got the cotton jacket from Yeswelder and it's a good product too. I went too fast to choose the Fluxcore wire and got the general type (GS) but realised that I would be better with a multi pass wire E71T-11 ftom Hobart and it does a nicer job than Yeswelder' own E71T-GS or probably any other E71T-GS. My tip: grap some quality E71T-11 and live happy. 😉

No la comprendo, no me duró ni 4 meses

Works great wire speed below 200 on 110v and it doesn’t pop a breaker…

Mig gun didn't work on arrival, pulled trigger no wire would feed. Jumped terminals on machine connector, wire fed. Same as if using machine wire feed button. Tested 2 terminals from connector side, with multimeter, trigger pushed measured O.L, had to run a wire from mig gun switch to connector terminal, worked now. Yeswelder sending replacement, since contacted. Mig gun now worked, tested on 110v at 140amps highest. NOW **Make sure you account that mig gun torch is only rated at 150amps, when running 3-5mm thickness at 200 Amps, it exceeds the mig torch amperage rating. But doesn't show that in description. Now mig gun will now work again lol Who sells a welder that has higher amperage output then the supplied mig gun amperage rating... just saying. Piece of advice, if welding on 220v at 150 amps or higher, buy a new mig gun rated at least 200 amps or higher( preferably 250-300amps)

Received this welder today but the front panel was broken off from the lower side. I guess the panel's plastic material needs to be more robust and packaging materials can be improved. Item is getting returned. Update 10Jan2026: Purchased this machine again and was pleasantly surprised by great customer service from Yes Welder team. Tried Yes Welder's 0.035" flux core wire with 240V and results are nice. Tried a few test beads varying the voltage and welded 3/16" thick plate with great results.
